South African giants Mamelodi Sundowns will be first on stage when the CAF Champions League quarter-finals get underway. They will host Tunisian side ES Tunis in the first leg and below is our prediction for the match.
Sundowns didn’t have the best of runs in the group stage but secured this slot after finishing second in Group B. Portuguese national Miguel Cardoso will be facing a familiar foe when he leads Sundowns against his immediate former employers.
In his 22 matches in charge, Cardoso has only lost three. His charges will be fired up for this, after beating Sekhukhune United 1-0 in the Nedbank Cup quarters last time out.
ES Tunis wrapped up Group D action with 13 points, topping the pool. This will not be an unfamiliar terrain for Esperance; they’ve been to Sundowns twice before, and won on both occasions.
Also, in their two meetings in 2024, then under Cardoso, Esperance won home and away against Sundowns. This match marks the fourth meeting between the two, ES winning three.
The Tunisians arrive for this match off the back of a four-game unbeaten run, the last two being draws. ES conceded in stoppage time before the international break, to draw 2-2 with JS Omrane in Ligue 1.
With only one loss in 15 matches, they will be confident of a good outing here.

Our Mamelodi Sundowns vs Esperance Sportive De Tunis Prediction
Mamelodi Sundowns haven't had a consistent run in recent matches, winning just once in regular time. They also recently lost to arch rivals Orlando Pirates. This might worry the hosts, as Sundowns have never beaten Esperance before. In two home matches against Esperance, they lost.
The last two matches against Esperance had their current coach on the other bench and Sundowns will hope that effect rubs off on their side. They, however, face a well-rested Esperance and after struggling to break down Sekhukhune United, they’ll find this tough. Our prediction for Mamelodi Sundowns v Esperance is: Esperance Sportive De Tunis wins the match.
